Being with my little dog - a two year old Pomeranian. He is three kg and a sweet little man who is very active.

Cutting hours is a little bit better than closing altogether, at least there is still an operating bank there, than none at all.

I like to choose and have cut up for me. The new self service packaged goods provide issues in that they are very thinly cut and you have to buy a certain quantity in the pack. Sometimes I used to buy two frankfurts to make two hot dogs for lunch, now I have to buy a pack of twelve and waste...

My parents were in a very good nursing home that was run by a family who created the nursing home because they could not find one that suited their parents' needs. It was a great place and we did not have to worry. They were happy. However, it has been bought out by a big company and now is a...

This is a positive move and change in thinking. Lets hope that a lot more banking service centres open in the future. I think because the banks have abandoned their customers, their customers have abandoned them, and now they are realising this. One can only hope.

I worry about the future. I am a self funded retiree so will have to pay. My problem is that I am the last of the line. We did not have children so it is just us left now. I do not know how we will navigate the system, that is so confusing. I also fear of being conned, ripped off and taken...

Happy Birthday!!!

Gosh you are also describing my experiences. Coles Cafeteria was a special school holiday treat as a family, dress up go to the city on the train (red rattler) shopping and Coles for lunch.

This man (Mr Trump) is causing so much disruption world wide. It is amazing how so much damage this one person is able to do and inflict on the world.

I agree. This happens all the time when I go to the local shops. I park and come back to find that I am parked in on both sides by SUVs and not able to open my door and have to wait for them to return with a 'sorry I did not realise' excuse. It is also very hard to see past these cars when...

Fish. I hated fish as a child, maybe it was the way that it was cooked. Absolutely love fish now and eat much much less red meat.

My sister told me that my Mum told her, that when my Grandfather died my mother was there and my grandfather said to his wife who died many years before; "Ah Win you've come to get me" and passed away. My sister who was present when my brother died in hospital, 'he had been out of it and...

Nine years ago I had been sick for a week. On being rushed to hospital after collapsing and not being able to move, in emergency, it was discovered that I had a serious infection in the top part of my spine. I was told that if they did not operate, I only had days left and if they operated it...

It is a shame that this has to be done, but if it helps to protect staff and patients then it is a good idea. I have been in emergency at Liverpool Hospital and when very busy late at night there are many aggressive people who expect immediate attention although there may be more critical cases...

This brings back memories of my grandmother who used to always have homemade treats for us like the marshmallows waiting for us to devour. Thank you for this I am going to use this recipe. What fun things to do with the grand kids.
